NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

While hiding at the T-shaped corner outside the bathroom, with all her attention focused on the stairs, Tia was easily "blown in the head" by Phoenix from behind.

……

……

The unique layout of the restroom provides ample hiding places, and the single glass window is the best way to attract attention.

It turns out that from the very beginning, the instructors were certain that the girls would forget about the follow-up checks when they saw the rope rappelling, and then hide in the private room to wait for an opportunity to strike.

Having been ordered to lie in the corridor as a "corpse," Huaerqiulei, with her eyes closed, kept reviewing every detail of the operation in her mind.

The more she reflected on it, the more she realized how chilling her instructor's character was.

If faking a rappelling represents cunning, then choosing a location represents meticulousness.

The fact that they hid in a corner room like a bathroom and didn't immediately come out to open fire when they were attracted by the illusion of rappelling suggests that the other party possessed a gamble-like audacity and a calm disregard for their own life.

What level of commander was assigned to her by her superiors to provide military training?

"Tswai, look over there! It's the Commander and Tia!"

From the corridor came Ein's anxious calls and the rapid, hurried footsteps of running.

Don't come any closer!

Don't come any closer!

Such a simple corpse trap, couldn't you have just searched each room one by one?!

Just as Huaerqiulei was crying out in her heart, Tswai and Aiyin, as expected, squatted down to check on her and Tia's physical condition.

Next second,

Phoenix, who had just walked out of the classroom room where the two girls, Niki, were passing by, shook his head helplessly, pulled the trigger, and fired a shot into the thigh of each of the two high school girls.

"Alright, everyone's out."

Someone ripped off their headset, waved weakly, and said:

“The rest of you come out with me. Valerie, go downstairs to find Lai, and bring her out with you too.”

Under the man's command, and in the stunned gazes of Tswai and Ein, the commander girl lying on the ground quickly opened her eyes, blushed with shame, and responded weakly.

"...Yes, instructor."

I remembered it wrong

A reader reminded me that the first wife was carrying a submachine gun at the beginning.

I checked and it is indeed a submachine gun. Thanks to that reader for correcting the error.

Therefore, I changed the scene in Chapter 79 where the first wife appears to have a submachine gun, but I will not change the scene where Phoenix suggests candidates to Anderson; it will be used as part of the normal plot.

After all, he misremembered his wife's favorite gun and even said it to her face, which made her secretly angry and she planned to teach him a lesson later. This is quite an interesting little daily life.

Chapter 81 You'd better really be teaching

Niki is stronger than humans.

This is the most unified view among all humanity on Ark.

But today, Phoenix, without relying on superpowers, proved with his actions that this view does not hold true in certain special circumstances.

5:0

Niki, a student from Class E who graduated, was in five teams and had a total of eighteen students. She ended today's exercise with the instructors with a frustrating record of complete defeat.

Indeed, some students privately expressed dissatisfaction with the training content provided by the instructors.

They are Niki, who is fighting against Letcher. What does this kind of close-quarters combat, similar to counter-terrorism, have to do with Letcher?

It's like a dog trying to catch mice; it's somewhat like meddling in other people's business.

However, when Marian overheard these comments during the break, the girl's face immediately darkened, becoming so grim that it looked as if thunder and lightning might erupt at any moment.

"Your instructor, who is also my commander, has been confirmed by the central authorities to have killed twelve Lechers, one of whom was killed by a shotgun at close range."

The highest number of Lechers eliminated in a single mission exceeded two hundred, with an estimated total casualty ratio of 72. He was the only commander to survive after entering the Death Zone, and also the only commander to witness a special Lecher.

I don't care what you think in your hearts, but before you question my commander behind my back, you'd better examine your own abilities first.

As the reprimand continued, Marianne's words became increasingly harsh.

"Judging from the level of your exercises this morning, I can tell you clearly that your military skills are not yet qualified to be members of the instructors' direct subordinate units."

After listening to the girl's words and learning about the instructor's true achievements, the students, including Niki, who were initially somewhat unconvinced, gradually pursed their lips, nodded, and lowered their eyes, no longer harboring any complaints.

In fact, the fact that he personally shot Lecher as a human commander was enough to earn their respect.

……

……

Phoenix.

"Ok?"

Inside the teachers' office, the instructors were discussing with the teachers the targeted teaching content for Waltham, Diesel, and the graduating E class.

Just then, D, dressed as a teacher, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing at the office door with his scarlet eyes staring intently at Phoenix.

And what about someone else?

With Mariusana by his side, and Marianne and Diesel in the next classroom, Phoenix wasn't flustered at all when he saw this killer cat.

"Is something wrong?"

"..."

D, burdened with guilt, had no time to be angry at someone's pretentious, affected manner of putting on airs of leadership. Instead, he replied earnestly:

"I need to ask her to leave for a moment. I need her to come out."

"Who are you?"

Before Phoenix could answer, Maruccia, who had stood up, questioned him warily.

“I know all the teachers at MMR High School.”

You had better answer my questions truthfully, otherwise I have the right to consider your current behavior as unauthorized intrusion.

"Trial Chamber, Dangerous Seat Force, D."

The assassin, too lazy to mince words, stated directly:

"My conversation with Phoenix is ​​classified as Ark Secret. You're just a teacher at an MMR affiliated high school; knowing too many secrets won't do you any good."

Please excuse me for now.

This may be the longest statement D has made in recent months, which shows that she has a very good impression of Maruchana.

Far better than some cunning lecher who suddenly tries to grope her.

Unfortunately, Maruchana did not buy into this.

"Courtroom?"

I've never heard of any trial court, and I don't know what the Dangerous Seats Unit is.

Given your dangerous act of impersonating a teacher at our school, I am issuing this warning to you for the safety of MMR Affiliated High School. Please show me the signed documentation for this action.

"..."

Faced with a teacher who wouldn't listen to reason, the assassin closed her eyes in distress. After a moment of contemplation, she turned her gaze to Phoenix.

That look undoubtedly said—you decide what to do.

"Teacher, actually she is my friend."

Upon hearing this, D almost thought Phoenix must have taken the wrong medicine today, becoming so agreeable. But the cunning lecher's follow-up perfectly matched her expectations.

"It's just that people are a bit... well, you know, young people always like to add some kind of unique characteristics to themselves."

Hearing the instructor put it so tactfully, Maruchana, as a teacher, immediately understood and made a gesture of sudden realization.

Is it chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

That's how young people are.

D: "..."

……

……

As soon as Maricana left the office, D's perpetually icy expression softened considerably. He walked forward with a look of embarrassment and annoyance, wanting to confront Phoenix.

But she quickly suppressed her impulse, her brows furrowing as if covered in frost, and coldly said:

"Why did you teach students CQB techniques in the final stage of the fifth exercise? I need a reasonable explanation."

"Why should I explain it to you?" Phoenix retorted with amusement. "CQB isn't something shady. I'm the instructor. Do I need your permission to teach whatever I want?"
